SEVILLE (WiMAX Day). Clearwire has launched its Instanet services in Spain. The first market for Clearwire will be Seville, with a reach of over 300,000 households, according to a company press release.

“Seville’s receptiveness to new technologies, and as the social and cultural nucleus in the south of the Peninsula made it an ideal first market for Clearwire’s entry into Spain,” said Gilberto Sanchez, Clearwire Espana general manager. “The more than 850,000 residents of Seville now have a better way to access the Internet immediately without the hassles or delays of traditional ADSL services. In addition, our customer care service operation is based in Seville to provide that high-touch customer experience.”

“We continue to successfully expand our global footprint and are excited to offer our simple to use, instant, reliable and portable wireless broadband service in Spain,” said Perry Satterlee, Clearwire chief operating officer and president. “Spain is the third country where we have launched service in Europe and together with our networks in Ireland and Belgium, Clearwire now covers more than 2.2 million people.”
